"Health is wealth" - Alex Wassabi and KSI beef on Twitter, the latter claims Alex ghosted him

The beef between Alex Wassabi and JJ "KSI" has been going on for years. However, recent events have caused their feud to heat up. For context, Alex was lined up to fight JJ in last month's Misfits Boxing event. However, the former pulled out of the match after incurring a concussion. The British YouTuber has since taken it as an opportunity to belittle the American for withdrawing at the last minute.

Their feud registered another chapter, with JJ calling out the 32-year-old influencer for being scared and pulling out of the fight. Although Alex has largely been non-responsive to this point, he decided to reply by tweeting:

KSI calls Alex Wassabi the "C" word in their latest online feud

It is no secret that the two YouTubers have shared a long-lasting animosity between themselves. Their rivalry, although dormant for years, gave rise when Alex defeated Deji and derided the Sidemen member for not being more supportive towards his brother.

Since then, both JJ and Alex have decided to end their feud by taking it to the ring. Unfortunately for the duo, Alex was injured at the last moment. JJ, however, feels that the injury was merely a ploy to escape a possible drubbing.

Alex's reply was also met with a stern response. It appeared that JJ was in no mood to fool around. Many influencers have criticized the Englishman for selecting weaker opponents as a replacement for Alex. His response was concise:

With JJ teasing a possible "Prime Squad" card in January, it remains to be seen if Alex Wassabi will throw his hat into the mix.

Fans reaction to the battle of wits

Fans flocked under the thread to share their reactions as well. Since their fight was among the most anticipated, not being able to see it resulted in a lot of disappointment. Here are some of the replies that were shared under Alex's tweet:

It is unclear if the pair will ever get to test their skills against each other in a boxing ring. The possibility of a reconciliation appears distant, according to many fans.

KSI's "Prime Squad" announcement was met with a lot of likes and shares with American content creators Logan Paul and JiDion volunteering to participate.
